Triclosan; Notice of Receipt of Requests for Amendments To Delete Uses in Certain Pesticide Registrations, 18376-18377 [E9-8993]

Download as PDF dwashington3 on PROD1PC60 with NOTICES 18376 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 76 / Wednesday, April 22, 2009 / Notices Wildlife Service (FWS) and the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) (jointly referred to as ‘‘the Services’’) regarding potential effects from these pesticides to federally listed threatened or endangered species (listed species) and habitat designated as critical to such species. The result of consultation will be a biological opinion issued by the Services that expresses whether they believe the pesticide’s use is likely to jeopardize the continued existence of any listed species or destroy or adversely modify habitat designated as critical to any listed species. If the Services determine there is likely jeopardy or adverse modification, they will provide reasonable and prudent alternatives to the action. If the Services conclude the action will result in ‘‘take’’ of any individuals of a listed species, they will specify reasonable and prudent measures to minimize such impact. The Agency will review and consider both the public comments received on the draft ecological risk assessments and, if provided, the information in the Service’s biological opinions when developing its proposed registration review decisions. As described in detail in the ‘‘Clomazone Summary Document Registration Review: Initial Docket (January 2007), Section IV—Human Health Effects Scoping Document’’ (see docket ID number EPA–HQ–OPP–2006– 0113), the Agency believes that the human health assessments completed prior to registration review are adequate, and there are no dietary risks that exceed the Agency’s level of concern. In addition, there are no residential uses of clomazone and all worker margins of exposure (MOEs) are below the Agency’s level of concern. Thus, no additional human health data are needed for the registration review of clomazone. Also, as described in detail in the ‘‘Fomesafen Summary Document Registration Review: Initial Docket (March 2007), Section IV – Human Health Effects Scoping Document’’ (see docket ID number EPA–HQ–OPP–2006– 0239), the Agency believes that the human health assessments completed prior to registration review are adequate and there are no dietary risks that exceed the Agency’s level of concern. In addition, there are no residential uses of fomesafen. The occupational scenarios do not result in risk concerns, with the exception of inhalation risks to mixer/ loaders for aerial application. This risk was mitigated below the Agency’s level of concern with the following change that is currently on the label: ‘‘In addition, for aerial applications, mixers and loaders handling more than 140 VerDate Nov<24>2008 15:31 Apr 21, 2009 Jkt 217001 gallons of Reflex Herbicide in any single workday must wear dust/mist filtering NIOSH-approved respirator with any N, R, P, or HE filter.’’ 1. Other related information. More information on EPA’s review of these cases is available on the Registration Review Status web page, https:// www.epa.gov/oppsrrd1/ registration_review/ reg_review_status.htm. Information such as the active ingredients in each case, may be found in the registration review schedule on the Agency’s website at https://www.epa.gov/oppsrrd1/ registration_review/schedule.htm. Information on the Agency’s registration review program and its implementing regulation is available at https:// www.epa.gov/oppsrrd1/ registration_review. 2. Information submission requirements. Anyone may submit data or information in response to this document. To be considered during a pesticide’s registration review, the submitted data or information must meet the following requirements: • To ensure that EPA will consider data or information submitted, interested persons must submit the data or information during the comment period. The Agency may, at its discretion, consider data or information submitted at a later date. • The data or information submitted must be presented in a legible and useable form. For example, an English translation must accompany any material that is not in English and a written transcript must accompany any information submitted as an audiographic or videographic record.
